Highly recommend for anyone who has a loved one staying at the ATOS Orthoparc Klinik. Essential by Dorint Köln is a 7 minute WALK to the hospital. This made daily visits possible as the commute from where we live would be an hour each way. The staff were friendly and helpful (provided a loaner power strip when we realized one was needed to charge the laptop). The rooms were comfortable, business style, with a good wall mounted TV. The hotel has a restaurant with tasty meals, has on-site parking, AND is dog-friendly!

Stewed here for one night. Close to Rheinenegy stadion which was perfect to watch Pink! No Ned for trams which were packed before and after! Staff were friendly and hotel was immaculate. Bathroom a little dated but clean and functional.

Quiet, clean, with parking, near metro stop
We stayed over NYE and it was quiet and clean. There’s no coffee pot or conditioner, but it’s got soap, towels, a bed, and is quiet, so it’s really what we needed. The people are nice and I’d stay again since it’s conveniently located 1/2 block from a metro stop. Parking was €19/day with in/out under the building- be sure you tell the desk so they can set up your parking ticket correctly for the in/out part.

Quiet, mid-sized hotel in Cologne
Despite being located on a major traffic artery in Cologne, the hotel and rooms are remarkably quiet, a tribute to German window and door technology. The location is perfect for the use of public transportation: trams, buses, and commuter rail lines are all close by . The breakfast buffet is outstanding and serves hot as well as cold items, and typically German breakfast fare. A coffee maker in the my economy-priced room would have been a great addition. This hotel is perfect for the leisure traveler and also for the business traveler who does not have to be in the downtown financial district.

Ok for overnighting
The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly and appear well trained. However the rooms are very basic in appearance and facilities. The location is quite far from Downtown but close to strassebahn and there is a large shopping mall 2 starions further out in Weiden. Expect 30-40 mins to travel to HBF or Köln/Messe.

Pleasent and Friendly
Stay was very pleasant; Spoke English and very friendly. Only 2 small issues that was of concern, 1st. there was no refrigerator in the room and 2nd they had no ice machine. I am sorry to say that people like me from the US like cold refreshments and a refrigerator in the room. The staff was very helpful and did provide ice upon request but it would have been better if there was a ice machine or refrigerator to keep bottle water and soda cold, otherwise hotel was excellent.
